Since first being discovered in India over 2000 years ago, the most striking and universally
recognized shape of an uncut diamond is the octahedron. This shape was revered from …

The discovery of diamonds in metamorphic rocks of continental affinities occurred shortly
after the discovery of coesite in similar rocks. These important discoveries led to a revolution …

Diamond has unique physical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties with respect to other
minerals and related synthetic compounds that make it extremely valuable from an …

Abstract The Sm–Nd isotope systematics and geochemistry of eclogitic, websteritic and
peridotitic garnet and clinopyroxene inclusions together with characteristics of their …

Recent studies showed that inclusions of the same phase within a single diamond are relicts
of an original monocrystal that underwent a dissolution event during diamond growth …

In this paper, we report a spectroscopic study of natural type Ib-IaA diamonds containing Y
centers subjected to high-pressure high-temperature treatment at 7–7.5 GPa and 1700 …

Ten individual gem-quality monocrystalline diamonds of known peridotite/eclogite
paragenesis from Southern Africa (Koffiefontein, Letlhakane, Orapa) were studied for trace …

In the present work, diamonds with yellow cores and a slightly colored or colorless rims have
been studied. Three groups of crystals that differ in spectroscopic features have been …

To fully understand the implications of the compositional information recorded by inclusions
in diamond it is vital to know if their growth was syn-or protogenetic and the extent to which …

Spatially resolved analyses reveal considerable isotopic heterogeneity within and among
diamonds ranging in size from 0.15 to 4.75 mm from the Orapa Mine, Botswana. The isotopic …
